It is important to always revisit the guiding principles of being fair the NAEYC
has a diverse set of guiding statements to best nurture children . The three which I feel are important.
Respecting the Diversity of Each Child
I feel this is a vital statement because many children come from a wide variety of backgrounds. As education professional's it remains key that we stay engaged and compassionate to each young child's
diverse background and perspective so they feel supported.
Base Knowledge on how Children develop and Learn
Currently our society is changing rapidly. Professionals need to stay current with how young people at all stages are responding to social changes and issues or trends which emerge
Bond Between Child and Family Respect
Once again with so many influences in our society emerging it is important that professional's understand this connection. As programs and plans are made in the field of child development respecting the family bond and diverse aspects are key for professionals.
This Blog to me has been very helpful in communicating my views with others and I have enjoyed having this open forum.
We are growing and fast! Society has such a big influnce on our line of work that we need to stay on top of what is happening and why. How to balance society demands with respect to our parents and their practices.

As early childhood professionals we should always support family and child bonds because we understand the positive affects of such relationships. These affects influence academic success, self-esteem, and overall development. Good point.
